I think framing it as "who cares" plays into the narrative these things have significance to ourselves too much. If you live in a first world country then there's no reason to be distressed by climate, disaster, or political news. Life just isn't that bad in first world countries despite what activists of every stripe will tell you (which isn't surprising because they want your attention the same as the news outlets). But as a society it's been decided that just dismissing things as "nbd" because they don't affect you personally is somehow hateful or ignorant when the reality is that it's just the nature of the issues.
